மறந்தாயே மறந்தாயே
பெண்ணே என்னை ஏன் மறந்தாய்
கடந்தேதான் நடந்தாயே
யாரோ என்று ஏன் கடந்தாய்
You forgot me, you forgot me
O girl, why did you forget me?
You walked right past me
Why did you pass me by like I was a stranger?
நினைவுகள் யாவும் நீங்கி போனால்
நான் யார் மறதியா அவதியா சகதியா
நிகழ்ந்தவை எல்லாம் பொய்யாய் ஆனால்
நீ யார் ஜனனமா சலனமா மரணமா
If all memories fade away
Who am I? Forgetfulness, agony, or mire?
If everything that happened turns out to be a lie
Who are you? A birth, a disturbance, or a death?
தனியாய் நான் வாழ்ந்தேனே
வானாய் நீ ஆனாய்
உனில் ஏற பார்த்தேனே
காணமல் போனாய்
I was living all alone
You became my sky
I tried to ascend into you
You vanished without a trace
யாரடி யாரடி
நான் இனி யாரடி
நான் இனி வாழ ஓர்
காரணம் கூறடி
Who are you, girl?
Who am I from now on?
To live henceforth,
give me a reason
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு :
யாரடி யாரடி
பாவி நீ யாரடி
ஓர் துளி ஞாபகம்
ஊறுதா பாரடி
You forgot me, you forgot me
O girl, why did you forget me?
You walked right past me
Why did you pass me by like I was a stranger?
மறந்தாயே மறந்தாயே
பெண்ணே என்னை ஏன் மறந்தாய்
கடந்தேதான் நடந்தாயே
யாரோ என்று ஏன் கடந்தாய்

There are no clouds, nor is there a storm
Will rain still fall?
Is this an inexplicable turmoil in my heart?
There is no seed, nor is there fertilizer
Will a tree still grow?
Spreading branches in memories, will it give comfort?
முகிலுமில்லை புயலுமில்லை
மழைவருமா
இதயத்திலே இனம் புரியா கலவரமா
விதியுமில்லை உரமும்மில்லை
மரம் வருமா
நினைவுகளில் கிளை விரித்தே சுகம் தருமா
Desiring a sky unknown until now
Will my heart beat incessantly in pain?
A severed relationship from a distant past life
Will it follow me even across births?
இது வரை அறியா ஒருவனை விரும்பி
இதயம் இதயம் துடி துடித்திடுமா
தொலைவொரு பிறவி அறுபட்ட உறவு
பிறவியை கடந்துமே எனை தொடர்ந்திடுமா
You filled me, you filled me
You filled my entire heart
பெண் மற்றும் குழு :
ஜென்மம் உண்மை இல்லை
உன் வேர் என்ன
காதல் கொண்டேன் உன்மேல்
உன் பேர் என்ன
அணுவெல்லாம் அணுவெல்லாம்
நினைவென நிறைந்தாய்
Solitude and I
Have become one once again
In this world that shrinks again
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு :
மறந்தாயே மறந்தாயே
பெண்ணே என்னை ஏன் மறந்தாய்
Aaa...aa... like a tunnel
As I go deeper within myself
In the swelling memories
நிறைந்தாயே நிறைந்தாயே
நெஞ்சம் எல்லாம் நீ நிறைந்தாய்
To see you in this world
Nothing is real
Female: The whole world is a lie, but this
Love is not a lie
தனிமையும் நானும்
மீண்டும் ஒன்றாய் ஆனோம்
மறுபடி சுருங்கிடும் உலகிலே

என்னுள் போக போக
பெருகிடும் பெருகிடும் நினைவிலே
You forgot me, you forgot me…
உன்னை காண உலகத்தில்
எதுவும் மெய்யில்லை
உலகெல்லாம் பொய் இந்த
காதல் பொய் இல்லை
